Melanie Putria is known as one of the celebrities who actively advocates for healthy living and exercising diligently.
Puteri Indonesia 2002 also revealed the story behind her decision to change her lifestyle for the better.
This is because Melanie Putria has a history of hypertension which was inherited from her father.
“I have quite a difficult history, my father died of a stroke and became hypertensive. The three of us (children) are all hypertensive to this day due to inheritance,” said Melanie Putria at the press conference for the Inauguration of the Brawijaya Genomic Center at Brawijaya Hospital, Tebet, South Newsdelivers.com, Tuesday (6/2).
Apart from that, Melanie Putria also has a history of cancer from her mother. These two diseases took the lives of her father and two older siblings.
“My first sister died in 2019 due to ovarian cancer, my father died of a stroke, my mother is a cervical cancer survivor, and my second sister died of kidney failure due to uncontrolled hypertension,” he continued.
Based on this reality, Melanie Putria began to focus on maintaining her health and starting a healthy lifestyle and exercising.
“This is what makes me concerned about health, because it's just me and my mother and it feels like health is a very luxurious item because I have risks,” said Melanie Putria.

Apart from that, to find out the causes that can trigger hypertension or cancer, Melanie Putria carried out a genomic test.
This test can help estimate a person's chance of having a particular risk of a disease and the results of the examination can provide information to guide health care.
“Because there are big risk factors that I want to avoid, that's why I took a genomic test, not just to find out but what the follow-up is, there are buttons I have to avoid, there are triggers I have to avoid, and how do I live my life to avoid these risk factors,” explained Melanie Putria.
Brawijaya Healthcare Group has collaborated with Prodia to inaugurate the Brawijaya Genomic Center which will be an education center related to special examinations, especially genomic examinations.
